Post From: Feature Removal: Simulation Fills Source Setting

If there are any objections to the removal of this feature, we need to know, but the solution will only be finding alternatives, not keeping the this feature. Like we said it is inherently confusing.

When a replay finishes and then someone submits an order, to have the simulation fills source automatically change, which it does now and have it show a completely different Position, is confusing and misleading and creates a support burden upon us.

Also when viewing the Simulated Trade Activity data in the Trade Activity Log, it is inherently confusing when users have to wonder whether they need to select Simulated, Replay/BackTest, or All Simulated for the Order Source activity.

What you will see is that the simulated Trade Account selection to group order activity is a superior way of solving the problem of what the simulated/replay/all simulated settings were meant to do.

By using the order activity source settings of simulated/replay/all simulated, these were very limited and just gave you essentially two groups for fills for a symbol. Whereas the Trade Accounts give you essentially unlimited groupings.

The only other thing we see that a user might want to block is simulated trading from a chart when a replay is not occurring to prevent non-replay fills from getting added to the selected Trade Account.
